Ansay International is the newest, and perhaps most unique and unexpected member of the Ansay family of businesses.

The company, which imports food and beverage products from Luxembourg to the United States, recently marked a milestone by signing an agreement with the National Brewery of Luxembourg to be the sole importer of beer to the U.S.

That’s the most recent accomplishment for the company, which was started in 2014 and has been growing ever since.

After opening his store nearly six years ago in Port Washington, Broadway Popcorn Co. owner Bill Bird said he’s impressed with the growth of his business and is contemplating opening another location.

“When you start out, you’re first thought is am I going to be able to pay the bills,” he said. “Popcorn is a niche market, and you’re making a product that everybody can live fine without. But the customers keep coming back to get more fresh popcorn.”

The popcorn has been made in-house at 322 N. Franklin St. since May 2013.

While studying to be an early childhood education teacher seven years ago, Ashley Potter helped run the show as manager of Jumping Country.

Now, she is owner of the bounce house facility in Grafton.

“This seemed to be the best of both worlds. I loved working here and I thought it would be a fun place to own,” Potter said. “Although I was getting a degree in education, I wasn’t 100% sure if teaching was the right path.”

Potter has owned Jumping Country for three years and said her 10,000-square-foot facility at 1235 Dakota Dr. is the only one of its kind in the area.
